Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Chapter 236 Yan Xiuchen sends a letter of origin and a dagger, Gu Yanbai plots to interrogate Su Wen

Yan Xiuchen looked at the hot spring pool in the distance and couldn't help but stop.

The moment he saw these, he felt really emotional and jealous.

But soon, a strong feeling suppressed the jealousy and envy in my heart.

He forgot how long it had been since he saw Jiang Qingwu laughing so freely and carefreely.

Jiuhan looked at Yan Xiuchen, then looked into the distance, and was about to step forward when Yan Xiuchen raised his hand to block him.

Then he turned around and left the backyard quietly.

"Godfather, why don't you go over there?"

"Don't go over there yet. Wait until they have had enough fun and give this slave document to Gu Qing or Bai Ruosheng."

Yan Xiuchen said this and strode forward to leave.

But just as he reached the front yard, he heard a familiar voice from the rooftop, "Your Highness is so courageous, aren't you jealous?"

Yan Xiuchen sighed secretly, turned around and looked at Gu Yanbai who was leaning on the roof tiles drinking, and couldn't help but nodded and smiled.

This guy is quite willful.

"Any more wine?"

Gu Yanbai was stunned for a moment, shook the small wine jar in his hand, and shook his head, "I still want you to bring me some wine?"

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai leaped up from the roof and landed steadily, lowering his voice and saying, "I've been here the whole time. If you want to know anything, you can ask me."

"Nothing to ask." Yan Xiuchen agreed, looking at the wine jar in Gu Yanbai's hand and said, "Follow me."

Gu Yanbai smiled when he heard the voice, and while pouring all the wine in the jar into his mouth, he followed Yan Xiuchen.

"Do you have some precious wine in your collection? Why are you so formal?"

"I'm telling you, if you drink, you have to drink less. If you get drunk again, I won't be able to carry you."

Gu Yanbai teased as he followed Yan Xiuchen all the way to Beiyuan and entered the house.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen taking off his outer robe and walking towards the inner room, Gu Yanbai raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, and sat down at the table outside.

"I only drink with you, not sleep with you..."

Gu Yanbai shouted jokingly and took two cups by himself.

But when I looked up, I found that what Yan Xiuchen took out was not wine, but an exquisite wooden box.

"What is it?" Gu Yanbai took it puzzled, but was suddenly stunned after opening it.

The expression on his face gradually solidified.

"Your things." Yan Xiuchen said lightly, sat down next to him, took the two cups from Gu Yanbai, and poured tea.

Gu Yanbai looked at the dagger inlaid with red agate in the box, and a smile couldn't help but rise at the corner of his lips.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise.

"You went to Xifeng Palace to look for this, right?" Yan Xiuchen silently handed the teacup to Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai also came back to his senses, raised his eyes and nodded, smiling, "Yes, I thought I couldn't find it..."

"So you've been here until now?" Gu Yanbai asked, his eyes quietly falling on Yan Xiuchen's face.

Yan Xiuchen lowered his eyes and drank his tea. After a long while, he spoke, "You like the birthday gift I gave you so much, so I naturally have to find a way to find it."

"I just didn't expect that there would be another chance for you."

Yan Xiuchen murmured, thinking of Jiang Qingwu and Bai Ruosheng, and couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

"Fortunately, we have a chance to start over and make up for what we failed to make up for before."

"Whether it's you or Bai Asheng, both are gifts from God."

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen in confusion, then silently put away the dagger and sneered, "Bai Ruosheng?!"

"Oh, I don't know if it's a gift, but..."

Gu Yanbai was hesitant to speak, Yan Xiuchen also heard something, raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yanbai, "Bai Ruosheng...what's wrong?"

"No, nothing..." Gu Yanbai smiled and brought the teacup to his mouth thoughtfully.

But he didn't pay attention to the temperature of the tea, and instantly burned his mouth, "hiss..."

Yan Xiuchen frowned slightly, still feeling uneasy, "You are not the kind of person who hesitates, tell me, what happened?"

Gu Yanbai came back to his senses, looked at Yan Xiuchen and couldn't help but smile, "Nothing is known yet, let me find out first."

"By the way, you gave me such a big gift, I have to return the favor."

After saying that, Gu Yanbai thought for a moment and smiled evilly, "Forget about Bai Ruosheng, Su Wenli is also in the palace..."

"How about I help you get someone to come?"

"How can I invite him? He is Gu Qing's cousin and he just came to visit. If I don't even have this much tolerance..."

"This has nothing to do with tolerance. They have been circling around Gu Qing, and her heart has been divided into several pieces. How much can she leave for you?"

Gu Yanbai spoke confidently, then slowly stood up, "Leave him to me, it's just right, I also want to find out what he said to Gu Qing at the beginning."

"I put so much effort into making you two happy, and now he has brought you back to your original state with just a few words. This is unacceptable."

Gu Yanbai raised his eyebrows at Yan Xiuchen with a solemn look, picked up the box containing the dagger on the table, and walked away.

Yan Xiuchen was also confused, but seeing that Gu Yanbai refused to say anything, he did not pursue the matter any further.

……

"Slave registration documents? So fast!" Jiang Qingwu looked at the things Jiuhan handed over with a look of surprise.

Jiuhan looked at Bai Ruosheng in the hot spring pool in the distance and nodded to Jiang Qingwu.

"If godfather wants to do it, it will be done quickly. Today in the court, the officials complained that godfather brought Mr. Bai back..."

Jiang Qingwu frowned suddenly and looked up at Jiuhan, "Ministers make recommendations? Then what?"

"Don't worry, young lady. Godfather said that Mr. Bai is his man, and he arranged all the male concubines' identities."

"He was the spy he sent to Sang Country three years ago, and he was the one who secretly transferred him back."

Jiang Qingwu was somewhat incredulous and stared at Jiuhan in a daze, "Did he say that?"

"Yes, just now..." Jiuhan hesitated and looked towards the hot spring pool.

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but look over there, and suddenly remembered something, "He was here just now?"

"Yes!"

"He saw me, my cousin, and Bai Ruosheng..."

"Yes!" Jiuhan blurted out, and then bowed slightly to Jiang Qingwu, "Miss, I'll go back first."

Yan Xiuchen came, but why didn’t he look for her? Was he jealous when he saw them playing in the water?

Jiang Qingwu was holding the slave registration document, thinking about something absent-mindedly, when he heard Su Wenli's voice behind him.

"Awu..."

"Ah... cousin..."

Su Wenli looked at the dazed Jiang Qingwu, then at the document in her hand, "I heard everything you said just now."

"How about I go and explain it to His Highness."

"No, I can go by myself, it's okay, he's not a mean or unreasonable person."

"Okay, by the way, someone from the Su Mansion sent a message saying that my father and mother wanted me to go back for something. I will go back to the Su Mansion today."

As he spoke, Su Wenli looked at Bai Ruosheng in the distance and said, "If his injuries have healed, he should be settled sooner. The palace... after all, is not a permanent place."

"I see!"

As soon as Su Wenli left the palace, the sound of horse hooves caught up with his carriage.

The night fell and the streets were bustling. Su Wenli didn't notice anything until he heard Gu Yanbai's shouting outside the carriage.

"I'd like to invite Mr. Su to drink. Would you please honor me?"

Su Wenli heard the shout, opened the curtain and looked out, "The servant who came to report the news looks unfamiliar. Could it be arranged by Master Gu?"

Gu Yanbai smiled upon hearing this and looked at Su Wenli, "Mr. Su is really smart."

Su Wenli took a deep breath and nodded, "In that case, I'm not in a hurry to return to the Su Mansion."
